That dude Reza's videos

[Beyond Black]

Fuck him and his $4000 amp, cork sniffing snobbery. I’ve heard Machine Head level the Thirsty Whale with 5150’s, Suffocation made my face slide off with 6505’s, and Havok made me buy a XXX II the following day. Guthrie Govan made me contemplate suicide through a Badger combo, Exodus rattled my fillings through XXX’s, and Sammy from Goatwhore summons demons with solid state Randall’s. Jungle Rot, quite possibly the biggest, most brutal guitar tone I’ve ever heard, sterilized my unborn grandchildren with baritones through Triple Rectos. And Reza....Well, I’ve never seen Reza play outside of his living room...

I always enjoyed Lugo's amp shootouts... epic stuff. Fun, different style players.. no condescension or ego... miss those days

That's was pretty good. The one about Guthrie govan and contemplating suicide made me laugh!! That guy is an animal.

 

[ElectricVoodoo]

Did he take down the video? I dont see it in his uploads on YT.
He must've been reading all these comments.
LMAO.

I was wondering the exactly same thing.

Flavor of the month.

I’m just saying. Being a bald chick. Hottest thing since Sinead o Connor.

I was sooooooooo going to Photoshop the F-out of his YT troll video too. Dang.

 

[Mailman1971]

Haha.
I don’t give rats ass what he does.
But if you go around bashing folks. Expect a punch or two back.
And no crying allowed.

 

[sadistik42]

He's a millenial, that's what they do. Whiney bitches.
But that aside, ill always give him credit for all the vids of cool gear and time he puts in the craft.

So what happened that he had to make that video? Someone must've said something.

Reza is like 47. Millennials got nothing to do with it....

That may be true but he's obviously made some friends for life.

 

[ElectricVoodoo]

He certainly acts like one.

 

[Mailman1971]

I would be his special friend.

 

[LP Freak]

I would be his special friend.

What ever happen to Don?

 

[Mailman1971]

Honestly I haven’t talked to Joey in years.
Not sure where he hangs. I only hang here.
Think lot of the members hang out in Facebook groups.
Steve K kept wanting me to join one.
But I am not a Facebook guy.

 

[Goat]

Horrible sounding amplifier. Simply horrible.

 

[ElectricVoodoo]

In his defense, he changed a pre tube here and it's the way he dials and mic's The other 2 SLO vids that he did, dont sound so bad.

Funny you mention this since I actually do record with a First Act from Walmart(seriously) or old Teisco, use speakers a lot of people don't like and this is my whole recording setup........ and I don't use any eq, filters or crap. I'm too lazy to actually learn how to.

I don't actually know what they sound like until I post them up. Sometimes they come out too bright or grainy, although I do tend to like a bit more brightness and grain these days than I used to, and sometimes I think they sound pretty close to what I'm hearing in the room. I am definitely NOT a YouTuber. Yeah, I post some chug chug clips of new stuff I get sometimes, but definitely not a Youtuber. Did I mention I'm not a Youtuber???
I liked a good amount of Rezas videos and even if I didn't like the way they sounded, that doesn't mean I didn't like to check it out. He is definitely a better guitar player than me, but I'm good enough to play what I want to play and a better player doesn't equal better (subjective) tone. I can get most amps to sound the way I like. The best amps I have ever played are less than 10% better in tone to me than my Peavey VTM.

You have been killing me with the molecular vids. I'm gas'n hard for one. Nik hasn't helped me with that either the last couple times I emailed him.

Anyway I watched some cover vids from some girl doing Anthrax, mastodon, and Judas priest. Sounded absolutely fantastic. Her gear list was a Peavey Combo and a ds1 or some shit. Some of my favorite guitarist have absolutely basic rigs. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Carcass haven't changed their rigs in ages if ever. My guitar teacher Jon Bjork was using a little marshall combo for a long time (he is now using Neural) and he sounds absolutely amazing.

I love gear but I'm starting to focus more on my playing and as a byproduct my tone is improving. I could have saved a lot of money and came out better over the years if I would have bought lessons instead of another shiny object
